Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A video processing method, comprising: obtaining, by a screenshot server, a video from a video server, wherein the video is a live broadcasting video uploaded into the video server by a second user terminal; capturing, by the screenshot server, a plurality of pictures from the video based on a preset screenshot strategy, wherein the preset screenshot strategy is to capture the plurality of pictures from the video according to multiple set capturing time points; and storing, by the screenshot server, the pictures into a storage server, wherein a link to the pictures is simultaneously displayed in a webpage on a first user terminal, wherein the first user terminal is a mobile terminal, such that the first user terminal obtains the pictures from the storage server in response to a user selection of the link to the pictures and plays the pictures on the first user terminal one by one in a video-like format.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: generating, by the screenshot server, a timestamp corresponding to each picture in the pictures; storing, by the screenshot server, the timestamp corresponding to each picture into the storage server such that, after the first user terminal obtains the pictures and the timestamp corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server, the first user terminal plays the pictures based on a time sequence indicated by the timestamp corresponding to each picture, the timestamp corresponding to each picture indicating a time position of the picture in the video.

3

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: generating, by the screenshot server, a playing serial number corresponding to each picture in the pictures; storing, by the screenshot server, the playing serial number corresponding to each picture into the storage server such that, after the first user terminal obtains the pictures and the playing serial number corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server, the first user terminal plays the pictures based on a playing sequence indicated by the playing serial number corresponding to each picture, the playing serial number corresponding to each picture being matched with a position of the picture in the video.

4

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of obtaining, by a screenshot server, a video from a video server includes: obtaining, by the screenshot server, a live broadcasting video uploaded into the video server by a second user terminal.

5

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, by the storage server, an access address corresponding to the pictures to a site server such that the site server embeds the access address into a webpage source code transmitted to the first user terminal.

6

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset screenshot strategy is to capture a plurality of pictures from the video according to a certain capturing frequency.

7

7. A video processing method performed by a first user terminal having one or more processors and memory, wherein the first user terminal is a mobile terminal and the method comprising: obtaining, by the first user terminal, a webpage source code from a site server; obtaining, by the first user terminal, a plurality of pictures from a storage server based on a user selection of an embedded picture access address in the webpage source code, the pictures being captured by a screenshot server from a video from a video server based on a preset screenshot strategy, wherein the preset screenshot strategy is to capture the plurality of pictures from the video according to multiple set capturing time points, each picture having associated playing order information, wherein the video is a live broadcasting video uploaded into the video server by a second user terminal; and broadcasting, by the first user terminal, the pictures according to their associated playing order information one by one in a video-like format.

8

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: obtaining, by the first user terminal, a timestamp corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server as the corresponding playing order information, the timestamp corresponding to each picture indicating a time position of the picture in the video.

9

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising: broadcasting, by the first user terminal, the pictures based on a time sequence indicated by the timestamp corresponding to each picture.

10

10. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: obtaining, by the first user terminal, a playing serial number corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server as the corresponding playing order information, the playing serial number corresponding to each picture being matched with a position of the picture in the video.

11

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising: broadcasting, by the first user terminal, the pictures based on a playing sequence indicated by the playing serial number corresponding to each picture.

12

12. A screenshot server having one or more processors, memory and one or more program units stored in the memory and to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more program units comprising: a video obtaining unit, configured to obtain a video from a video server, wherein the video is a live broadcasting video uploaded into the video server by a second user terminal; a capturing unit, configured to capture a plurality of pictures from the video based on a preset screenshot strategy, wherein the preset screenshot strategy is to capture the plurality of pictures from the video according to multiple set capturing time points; and a storage unit, configured to store the pictures into the storage server such that a first user terminal, wherein the first user terminal is a mobile terminal, obtains the pictures from the storage server in response to a user selection of a link to the pictures displayed in a webpage on the first user terminal and plays the pictures on the first user terminal one by one in a video-like format.

13

13. The screenshot server according to claim 12 , further comprising: a timestamp unit, configured to generate a timestamp corresponding each picture in the pictures; and the storage unit is further configured to store the timestamp corresponding to each picture into the storage server such that, after the first user terminal obtains the pictures and the timestamp corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server, the first user terminal plays the pictures based on a time sequence indicated by the timestamp corresponding to each picture, the timestamp corresponding to each picture being used for indicating a time position of the picture in the video.

14

14. The screenshot server according to claim 12 , further comprising: a serial number unit, configured to generate a playing serial number corresponding to each picture in the pictures; and the storage unit is further configured to store the playing serial number corresponding to each picture into the storage server such that, after the first user terminal obtains the pictures and the playing serial number corresponding to each picture in the pictures from the storage server, the first user terminal plays the pictures based on a playing sequence indicated by the playing serial number corresponding to each picture, the playing serial number corresponding to each picture being matched with a position of the picture in the video.

15

15. The screenshot server according to claim 12 , wherein the video obtaining unit is specifically configured to obtain a live broadcasting video uploaded into the video server by a second user terminal.

16

16. The screenshot server according to claim 12 , further comprising: an address unit, configured to transmit an access address corresponding to the pictures to a site server such that the site server embeds the access address into a webpage source code transmitted by the first user terminal.

17

17. The screenshot server according to claim 12 , wherein the preset screenshot strategy is to capture a plurality of pictures from the video according to a certain capturing frequency.
